I am also looking for a Foley from the Phila PA area who we think married a Reynolds circa 1850-60 and had a son, James Reynolds (my ggrfa) in the 1860-1865 range. If you have any info on such a marriage, I'd love to hear about it.

I have Walsh (Welsh) family roots. My maternal great-grandmother was Josephine Walsh. Her father Edward was a tailor from Ireland. He immigranted around 1874. She married George Forsyth also from Ireland. Josephine was actually born in Philadelphia around 1880. I have seen the name listed on some records as Welsh.

Hello.
I have Foley's from Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And a Josephine Walsh born about 1882 who married a James Maguire. Sound familiar?
